I Don’t Trust God With the Election
Let’s strengthen our trust together by committing to prayer.
The U.S. General Election is in 38 days.
I have been tempted to check out of political news completely, my blood pressure rising whenever I hear certain words and names. Your temptation may be the opposite, to immerse yourself in every news headline, poll, and possibility.
But I believe our challenge is the same: trust.
Do we really believe that God is sovereign, that “He changes times and seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings”? (Dan. 2:21)
I confess that my trust is weak, and that I do not always live as though I believe those words. So, in the spirit of Beautiful Discipleship, let’s commit to strengthening our trust together.
From October 1-14 let’s commit to:
Praying for our government leaders (current and potential) daily.
Doing so before we consume any political news for the day.
Sign up at the link below to join us and we’ll send out a daily prayer prompt (a prayer, quote, or Scripture) each morning of the Commitment.
Let’s Pray Together!
We would also love to have you contribute one of the prayer prompts if you plan to join us. There’s an optional space on the sign up form to include your own written out prayer, a link to a hymn or worship song, a brief quote, or a passage of Scripture. Let’s encourage each other.

In pursuit of Beauty,
I feel like it's gonna be bananas no matter which side wins. I'm praying for peace!
I have to admit that I’m not upset to be out of the country for this one (though still getting a ballot to vote!)
